Resident evil hd remake

Leon Kennedy had a very bad first day on the job, and Resident Evil 2’s HD remaster is going to take us through it step by terrifying step. A new gameplay trailer shows a game that’s far darker, scarier, and gorier than its original version, updated with 20 years’ worth of zombie research. Capcom’s latest trailer for the modern Resident Evil 2 remake is admittedly very trailery, but we get a better sense of the moment-to-moment gameplay. There’s the over-the-shoulder shooting from Resident Evil 4, plus the slick, sick visuals from last year’s Resident Evil 7 all present and correct. Prepare to be spooked with our list of the best horror games on PC. But it’s the cramped corridors and constrained flashlight beam that really stand out. The new Resident Evil 2 looks extremely dark, with the mangled and contorted faces of zombies appearing suddenly out of the inky blackness of the Raccoon Police Department precinct. At a couple points in the … [Read more...] about Resident Evil 2 remake looks very dark and scary in newest trailer

Capcom actually announced Resident Evil 2 Remake ages ago but most people were expecting a nicely crafted HD remaster. Something along the lines of Shadow of the Colossus which rejigged the controls for a modern palette, but otherwise took the original game and dressed it up for 4K screens. What we finally saw revealed at E3 2018 was a completely new game though - something completely fresh, and lovingly rebuilt from the ground up in Resident Evil 7’s RE Engine. It's a big upgrade that obviously effects the looks of the game overall but also has a big impact on the horror and gameplay. No more tank controls and fixed camera angles for example, and where before shooting zombies looked like this on PS1: It now looks like this on PS4, with the ability to shoot of limbs and body parts, stripping away flesh and bone like wax under a blowtorch.

When Capcom sets its mind to remaking a Resident Evil game, it seems to do it right. Years ago it was the classic GameCube Remake of the original Resident Evil, which found its way to PC with an HD remaster and still held up remarkably well. That game stuck to static camera angles and clunky controls and silly puzzles, but those were the things that really made the game work. Now we've finally seen the Resident Evil 2 Remake, which has been in the works for about three years, and it's a much more dramatic departure, dropping the fixed perspective for a behind-the-back camera. That camera may make the RE2 Remake seem like it's going down the action game path, but watch a few minutes of the gameplay footage above and you'll get pure survival horror vibes.The Resident Evil 2 Remake is running on the same engine as Resident Evil 7 (and Devil May Cry 5), and it has atmosphere to spare. Lighting looks like it's going to play a huge role, here, with Leon walking through some dark areas and … [Read more...] about The Resident Evil 2 remake is looking like fantastic, gruesome survival horror
